I found a copy of New Brunswick's Time Definition Act consolidated to 2005-07-15 <http://www.gnb.ca/0062/PDF-acts/t-06.pdf> and it confirms that New Brunswick switches to and from DST at 00:01 rather than 02:00.
Page 2 of the above reference says "1965, c.7, s.1; 1973, c.74, s.75; 1993, c.9, s.1; 2005, c.7, s.83." I assume this refers to dates when the law changed,
It looks to me like references to the legislation making the change. In the UK, the first of these would be "section 1 of chapter 7 of the laws of 1965"; chapter 7 is, in turn, the 7th Public Act passed in that year. Since the cited work says "This Act is consolidated to <date>", I presume it's a publication that applies all the various amending Acts up to that date. Hmm; 2005 c.7 is "An Act Respecting Rural Communities" <http://www.gnb.ca/0062/acts/BBA-2005/Chap-7.pdf>. Section 83 is titled "Time Definition Act" and, found on page 123, reads: 83 Subsection 1(1) of the French version of the Time Definition Act, chapter T-6 of the Revised Statutes, 1973, is amended by striking out "municipal". It looks to me as if your original document cites all the bits of legislation you need to look up to determine the changes. Hmm, on second thoughts, if one change cancels a previous one, the previous one might not be shown. Sorry. -- Clive D.W.
